sioners-Chief BoIIman's Condition.
| At the board of police commissioners
meeting last evening the following commu-
| nication was handed in:
elm view of much drunkenness and tres
| passing on private property, fruit stolen,
| trees badly damaged, not to speak of broken
windows in barns, outhouses and even in
private houses; of abusive language and also
| of the close vicinity of four saloons, two near
Blatchley avenue, request the commission
| ers to consider seriously the matter of estab-
fishing police precinct on Blatchley
| avenue near the corner of Grand and
Blatchley avenues. The Increasing population
| in this part of the city and Fair Haven East,
the long distance from East street precinct
and the necessity of protection to property
of taxpayers renders one necessary. Hoping
this will meet with the attention it demands
close with suggestion that patrolmen
should wear their belts and clubs, when on
duty, outside their coats and not inside. /
have noticed policemen wearing blouses and
carrying a cane. Whether their belt and
club were under their coats do not know,
but it seems to me that this is not proper
when patrolman is on duty.
I would also call attention to
than Americans as officers of any grade. I
could file complaint upon lieutenant for
neglect of duty and insulting behavior to me
who is of foreign extraction. The removal
of all such from any position of trust, even
that of sergeant would be well and best.
377 Grand Ave.
The letter was laid on the table.
The following letter was handed to the
board by Commissioner johnson:
Samuel johnson, Esq, President of Board of
Police Commissioners:
Sir-In addition to other Improvements
which you have received of the occurrence, I
deem it proper to herewith officially report to
you that on Sunday, August z last: while
having under arrest Edward McDermott and
while trying to take him from Oak street to
the police station I received at the hands of
the latter severe (but am assured only tenn
porary) injuries about my head, which inju-
ries disabled me from doing duty up to the
present time and will probably prevent my
reporting for duty for further week or
two. Last Tuesday I left the city by the
advice of my physician and at pres
ent I am in CRANKY, doing as well
as can be expected; The only trouble is with
through my nose, and talking, reading or
writing cause a feeling of dizziness. How
ever all these unpleasant features are felt less
from day to day, and 1 feel confident that in
two weeks from to-day, at the latest, will
be again ct my post of duty.
CHARLES T. BOLIVIAN,
Chief of Police.
